THE OAS AND CITES INVITE EXPERTS TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF AMAZONIAN TIMBER AND OTHER 34,000 SPECIES OF FAUNA AND FLORA
February 27, 2009
The Department of Sustainable Development of the Organization of American States (OAS-DSD), jointly with the Secretariat of the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), held a roundtable discussion, during this week at the OAS headquarters, on support activities for the conservation and sustainable use of the 34,000 species of wild animals and plants protected by the CITES.
In his opening remarks the OAS Executive Secretary for Integral Development, Ambassador Alfonso Quiñónez, highlighted that “as economic growth progresses in the region, and countries engage in increased trade, CITES implementation becomes more critical.” He further emphasized that “the need to support countries achieve a comprehensive protection of species of flora and fauna and improve and promote legal, financial and institutional mechanisms is an issue that merits not only of dialogue but also, concrete actions.”
Likewise, CITES Secretary General Mr. Willen Wijnstekers reminded the participants of the roundtable the importance of identifying resources and opportunities for cooperation in order to advance the implementation of the CITES work program; and reiterated the need to strengthen the capacity of countries to effectively enforce the Convention.
The roundtable discussion gathered representatives of international organizations, development agencies and non-governmental organizations working on the conservation of tigers, rhinos, and elephants, and the sustainable use of Amazonian timber species such as Mahogany, Cedar and Dalbergia. The representatives identified synergies and opportunities for cooperation on efforts conducted in the OAS Member States and the CITES work program, based on the activities identified during the 14th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP14, The Hague 2007).
